I am creating a phone list for my workplace, and we have abbreviations that
are not found in a normal dictionary. How can I add special words to the
Excel dictionary?

Look up in Help how to check for spelling errors. Do that. When Excel
runs into a word not in the dictionary it will flag that word and give you
various options. One of those options is to add that word to the
dictionary. HTH Otto
